Now I know with any good message board, there are a few lurkers...people who read the message board but don't post for one reason or another. Well, in honor of AP's birthday, I'm calling this the Delurking Thread!
Usually "tell us about yourself" threads seem to work good for delurking, so I'm doing a classic "right here, right now" style thread from days of yore.

<A HREF="http://www.angrychick.net" TARGET=_blank>Angry People</A> is back, and it wants to have your babies!

Right here, right now...
Wearing: Talking watch, light blue jeans with pen drawn all over, grey socks, white long johns, Harley Davidson t-shirt, small flannel shirt over that. Really small.
Hearing: Some anxiety video my mother put on the TV. And mommy on the phone. And some girl making cookies.
Eating: I had cold pizza, and tuna fish sandwich insides.
Drinking: Juice
Wishing: I was with Claire... AND THAT I COULD FLY!
Doing: Nothing that is important.
Feeling: My foot is itchy.
Wanting: For it to not be itchy.

Wearing: Gray shirt and jeans.
Hearing: Caribou -- the Pixies
Eating: nope, finished dinner a couple hours ago.
Drinking: Cola.
Wishing: I had already studied for my Samuel Johnson exam tomorrow. Or that I was able to concentrate enough to do so now.
Doing: I should draw my comic. I have the script, and after the previous continuity fiascos, I don't want to fall behind this early.
Feeling: Not. Quite. Motivated. Enough.
Wanting: the ability to write and draw Forsooth on paper the way it seems in my brain. Heck, the ability to write anything to the best of my ability. Or something.

<b>Right here, right now... </b>
<b>Wearing: </b>olive green cargo pants, blue simpsons t-shirt, red bandana, grey vans...oh, and white socks.
<b>Hearing: </b>some remix of Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" i got from mtv.com
<b>Eating: </b>i just finished a croissant...
<b>Drinking: </b>just finished a polar mocha.
<b>Wishing: </b>that it was friday, for numerous reasons...such as the fact that i get paid, it's the start of the weekend, i get to see Chris again, etc.
<b>Doing: </b>um...posting here?
<b>Feeling: </b>tired.
<b>Wanting: </b>there to be more hours in the day...so i could sleep more and get more stuff done...

<b>Right here, right now...</b>
<b>Wearing:</b> an "i'm not irish, but kiss me anyway" shirt that used to be my dad's aaaaaand....PURPLE MONKEY PANTS!
<b>Hearing:</b> South Park
<b>Eating:</b> nothing
<b>Drinking:</b> pepsi one
<b>Wishing:</b> i was at Chris's
<b>Doing:</b> talking to Chris, listening to the rain, half watching South Park
<b>Feeling:</b> tired. slightly icky.
<b>Wanting:</b> to stand out in the rain in a certain someone's arms...

<b>Right here, right now...</b>
<b>Wearing</b>: gray "warm fuzzy" shirt, green pants, Newsies cap, boots
<b>Hearing</b>: the steady hum of lab computers
<b>Eating</b>: cheddar goldfish
<b>Drinking</b>: water
<b>Wishing</b>: that I had a Smirnoff Ice to go with the goldfish, and that I had understood all these damn theorists the first time 'round so I wouldn't be pulling this all-nighter right before my final
<b>Doing</b>: attempting to unravel the mysteries of Derrida & Althusser
<b>Feeling</b>: not of this earth. my back aches and my eyes are going on strike.
<b>Wanting</b>: an upgraded brain... there's gotta be a newer version that can understand these eejits

<b>Hic et nunc --</b>
<b>Wearing</b>: old state high school Latin competition t-shirt, jeans, old shoes, headphones
<b>Hearing</b>: The Clash, "The Guns of Brixton"
<b>Eating</b>: naught
<b>Drinking</b>: cola
<b>Wishing</b>: my scanner worked.
<b>Doing</b>: wondering whether Sarah just forgot to update her site, or whether I really <i>am</i> Turnip. ("But, Nelly, I am Turnip!")
<b>Feeling</b>: A lot more self-satisfied than I deserve to feel, given that I haven't done anything clever or impressive recently.
<b>Wanting</b>: Hm, maybe this is where the scanner thing goes. But i already wished for that, so when it shows up, could I also have several thousand readers a day? Or failing that, a robot to draw backgrounds? I'm telling you, those stick figure comic people sure got something right... draw a line under the characters to suggest the floor, that's what you call "detailed". It's hard enough for me to draw the same character in the same way twice, now I have to fill in the backgrounds the same way, and orient the characters properly within them? Athena, spare me.

<b>In this location at this time...</b>
<b>Wearing</b>: Same thing as last time, minus the shoes.
<b>Hearing</b>: Elvis Costello, "Watching the Detectives"
<b>Eating</b>: Still nothing.
<b>Drinking</b>: I ran out of soda, and I'm too lazy to go out and get some kind of replacement beverage.
<b>Wishing</b>: I had gone to sleep tonight. Oh well, I only need to survive two more hours.
<b>Doing</b>: Hm, that lurker seemed pretty spurious. Singing along with the music -- "he can't be wounded, 'cause he's got no heart..." Not too loudly, of course. Don't want to confuse the neighbors. Staying awake. Working on character pictures/descriptions for some kind of nonexistent cast list for Forsooth. I've got Jim and Anne done so far... six (seven?) well, I forget how many left to do.
<b>Feeling</b>: Tired. Still annoyed with the scanner. Mostly tired.
<b>Wanting</b>: Another soda. The ability to draw characters -- heck, I'm not even asking for the ability to draw other people's characters, my own keep eluding me well enough. A better design for Thor -- with the new characters looking so much better than the old characters and the old characters vastly improved to look as good as the new characters (the new Jim alone raises the artistic level of this comic strip by at least two notches -- Jim is a very minor character, actually not even necessary to the strip now, but I'm keeping him around because he just looks so damn cool. I merely wonder what the heck I'm going to do with him. Also, I think I've fallen in love with Julia, despite the fact that she's a) evil, b) fictional, and c) a crude caricature drawn by me. Just the insomnia talking there.) -- and who still looks like crap? Why, the protagonist of the whole thing, of course. I will admit that I haven't gotten Tim to look much better. This is only natural, as he was the protagonist of the old strip. Yeah, I've tried all I can, and I can't figure out how to make this design for Thor look good without completely changing what he looks like. Funny -- I remember when I liked the design for Thor better than any of the other characters. I'm rambling. I hope I don't do this in class. I'll stop now.

<b>Right here, right now...
Wearing:</b> Jammies still, a red shirt Aaron designed in high school, shimmery blue jammie pants, my fuzzy orange "muppet" toe socks, a goofy grin
<b>Hearing:</b> why does my family make noise and get up and talk and yell all night long until i have to get up in the morning at which point they've all left for work or whatever?
<b>Eating:</b> my traditional college breakfast food, tatoe chips and gummy bears
<b>Drinking:</b> the other half of my traditoinal college breakfast meal, Dr Pepper in a can
<b>Wishing:</b> this lingering, tormentous, evil semester would just finish for crissakes, and that i could see my boy more often, and that i wasn't a part-time lurker
<b>Doing:</b> painting my nails eggplant purple, wishing i'd done laundry so i cold wear my plaid pants, ditching Calculus <b>Feeling:</b> sleepy since i can't get a full hour of sleep without interuption around here, pouty about homework, missing Aaron too much
<b>Wanting:</b> uhh...guess?, and more games to play when i get bored, and not to go to any classes today, and to just win some lottery jackpot large enough that i won't have to work so i could just finish my godforsaken degree and then make movies for a living

<b>Right here, right now...
Wearing:</b> jeans, doc martens, grey socks, two-row pyramid belt, black undersdhirt, shite men's dress shirt, red "pat" necktie, hoodie, red-n-white checked scarf. pink bra. white panties. yay details!
<b>Hearing:</b> tappety-tewp of computer in the library
<b>Eating:</b> god i'm hungry...
<b>Drinking:</b> water..oh i am naughty.
<b>Wishing:</b> i didn't have to wait two and a half FREAKIN hours just to make up an ASL quiz. and that i was able to ftp from these computers so i could fix the main page. no, erik, you're not turnip...
<b>Doing:</b> WAITING. dammit.
<b>Feeling:</b> achey and bored. proud that i was able to bring Halo with me to school today and spenbd quality time with hyer between finals without any major mishaps (minus her peeing on armando...heh)
<b>Wanting:</b> to go the feck home.
